5 The Graying of HIV Disease Older adults with HIV are increasing due to a combination of factors PHAC suggest an increase in the proportion of positive HIV testing among adults 50 and over from 10.6% in 1999 to 15.3% in 2008 Increasing number of individuals are living into older age with HIV disease. In Canada, the number of people living with HIV (including AIDS) has increased by 14% from an estimated 57,000 persons in 2005 to 65,000 in 2008 (PHAC, 2011)
6 HIV Stigma Among Older Adults HIV related stigma impacts quality of life, social support and service access. Meta-analysis by Logie and Gadalla (2009) found HIV stigma associated with Poorer physical health Poorer mental health Decreased social support and Lower income
7 HIV Stigma Among Older Adults Research on older adults have found HIV stigma to be associated with: Depression (Emlet, 2007; Grov, Golub, Parsons, Brennan, Karpiak, 2010) Loneliness (Grov, et al, 2010) Social Isolation (Emlet, 2006a; Karpiak, Shippy, & Cantor, 2006) Secrecy (non-disclosure) (Foster & Gaskins, 2009) Layering of stigma (HIV stigma Ageism) (Emlet, 2006b)
8 Purpose of the Research Determine characteristics that contribute to or protect against HIV stigma in a population of older adults from Ontario. Sociodemographic Characteristics Psychosocial Characteristics Health-related variables
9 Methods Sample, OHTN Cohort Study (OCS) Participants 50 years and over from the OCS Who completed an assessment battery between September, 2007 and March, 2010 Measures Sociodemographic age, partner status, income and race
10 Methods (continued) Measures Psychosocial Depression (CESD-20; Radloff, 1977; α =.91) Coping (COPE; Carver, 1997; α =.77) Mastery (Pearlin s Mastery Scale; Pearlin & Schooler, 1978 α =.78) Social Support (MOS-HIV; Sherbourne & Stewart, 1991; α =.97) Health Related Variables self-rated health (excellent, very good, good, fair, poor) alcohol use (AUDIT; Allen, Litten, Fertig, & Babor, 1997) years since diagnosis Dependent variable: HIV stigma measured using 36-item HIV Stigma scale (Berger, Ferrans, & Lashley, 2001; α =.90)

15 Discussion Findings reinforce the importance and impact of stigma on older HIV positive adults Non-MSM reporting greater stigma Age and less time since diagnoses associated with greater stigma Importance of internal mechanisms such as mastery Importance of external mechanisms Emotional social support Informational social support Research is needed to better understand what this resilience means and how to enhance it Interventions are needed to reduce stigma (particularly, for non MSM and recently diagnosed) and strengthen these protective components
